Fallen

Written on Armistice Day, 11/11/2013.

For all those that served and two special people. For Sam, who loves the Autumn and Katie, who served, so that she can.

Where I say men, I include women. They were all heroes.




Fallen


Fallen Autumn leaves
Fallen youngsters, a nation grieves

Enemy's wrath
A Cenotaph

Young men, turned in to old men
Same now, same then

Bloody barb wired fence
A minute silence

History in place
Wish I could salute you, face to face

My Poppy
Your Poppies
